Tim Winton's book Breath is 218 pages (on my list) and it's the one that's just been made into a film with Simon Baker.

Before I Let You Go is such a great story
This is pretty difficult because the page numbers vary so much from one edition to the next. For example, I have the ebook of The Lucky Galah, which fits and I'd like to read soon, but I notice the paperback edition is over the limit.

Hi,I have had
Killer Twist by C.A. Larmer on my tbr for ages, and at 234 pages it fits perfectly into the page count requirements :)
Heart of Brass by Felicity Banks - historical steampunk set in Australia - first in a series.

Mod
Are you allowed to nominate your own books Brenda?"
No - not at all. Is Boyko the same as the author Ace?
I just checked again - Boyko is male, the author is female...
Got it. I think I clicked on the wrong link!

Maybe the "rumour" about ebooks still being available from the US site is true.....
1st in a nice new series of Aussies romances - 4 authors have all written a story set in the same fictional town - great idea
Maggie's Run by Kelly HunterIt has 150 pages - so fits the critera
The Women In Black. by Madeleine St John.227 pages.
I’d like to nominate Joel and Cat Set the Story Straight by Nick Earls and Rebecca Sparrow (both Aussie authors). The book is 240 pages and I hope it’s okay that there are two authors!
I would like to nominate Crystal Mary Lindsey for her book,Discovering Treasure.
Mod
Discovering Treasure."
Discovering Treasure by Crystal Mary Lindsey.
It sounds interesting J.E. but is it a novella?
